Hereafter is a story of three people , the survivor , the left behind and the communicator . Surviving a near-death experience , and left-behind by a sibling and rejecting a gift , these three individuals are unable to move on in life .
The story follows the model of "WAR and PEACE" and the 1984 Mini-series V . Each of the characters tell their own story and it has nothing to do with each other , and the writer then very effectively pull all into spitting distance of each other , only to flee each others company . Of course persistent and dedication results in the happliy ever after ending .Death haunts each of them in their own way , and each seeks their own way out of the shadow that has been casted over them . Yet , after watching the film , one must ask , DID I CARE ?
Everyday each one of us in our own life struggle to overcome what has happen before and what is going to come ? Why does this film reach out and want us to care .
Matt Damon , maintains his acting and plays the role perfectly as it is written . Though not an oscar winning performance , one can see the direct influence of veteran Clint Eastwood on the screen .
Cécile de France , is also made for the role , the casting director is due for raise , her role as French Journalist , fits her like a glove .
Bryce Dallas Howard , her departure from the film is done as quick as she enter , but her part is essential in giving Matt Damon the personality of a damage person , only after exposing her characters deep dark secret .
Clint Eastwood , is not getting any awards for this , but he has made a good film , three different people , from three different cultures , have come together and repaired themselves . Basically re-telling the myth that there is someone out there for everyone . A love story in disguise .
Definitely a first date movie .
